1 The Advanced Placement Program Foster High School January 11, 2018

2 The Basics- College Board Advanced Placement Program (AP) + Advanced Placement Program (AP ) courses - college-level courses offered in high school - reflect what is taught in top introductory college courses + At the end of course, students take AP Exams - standardized exams that measure how well students have mastered college-level course work. - students who do well on AP Exams can earn credit and/or placement into advanced courses in college. + Taking AP courses demonstrates to college admission officers that students have sought out the most rigorous curriculum available to them.

3 Who Participates in AP? + More than 22,169,000 secondary schools worldwide offer AP Exams + More than 128,000 AP teachers are authorized to teach AP courses and must receive specialized training in their AP course + In 2017, 2,741,426 students took 4,957,931 AP exams. + 5,000+ college and high school faculty develop and score the AP Exams ensuring college-level standards + 4,000+ colleges receive AP Exam scores annually

4 AP at Foster High School There were 1038 exams taken last year by 532 different students. 53.2% of these students earned scores of 3 or higher. AP Scholars demonstrate superior college-level achievement through AP courses and exams. They receive an award certificate, and this achievement is acknowledged on any AP score report that is sent to colleges the following fall. Foster High School had 85 AP Scholars in AP students are provided additional support via study groups that are coordinated by the AP Ambassador group. Quote from former student: I can definitely say that I am a more prepared college student because of my AP course load in high school. College courses (and often life) require you to think outside the box and my AP classes helped me to develop that skill.

5 AP Courses and Exams Capstone Arts Seminar, Research Art History, Music Theory, Studio Art (Drawing, 2-D, 3-D) English Language and Composition, Literature and Composition History & Social Science Comparative Government and Politics, European History, Human Geography, Macroeconomics, Microeconomics, Psychology, United States Government and Politics, United States History, World History Mathematics & Computer Science Calculus AB, Calculus BC, Statistics, Computer Science Principles, Computer Science A Sciences Biology, Chemistry, Environmental Science, Physics 1 and 2, Physics C: Electricity and Magnetism, Physics C: Mechanics World Languages Chinese Language and Culture, French Language, German Language, Italian Language and Culture, Japanese Language and Culture, Latin: Vergil, Spanish Language, Spanish Literature Foster offers 26/39 AP Courses

6 What Are AP Courses Like? Taking AP courses is an interesting and rewarding academic experience that helps students to think critically, analyze and synthesize facts and data, weigh competing perspectives, and write clearly and persuasively. AP classes are more intense and in-depth, but they are doable if students take advantage of the resources and support available to them. Classes tend to be fast-paced and cover more material than typical high school classes. More time might be required, inside and outside of the classroom, to complete lessons, assignments and homework.

7 AP Student Presentation AP is more than just a score. Hear from AP students as they reflect on their experiences participating in AP courses.

8 AP Myths & Realities Myth + AP courses are for students who always get good grades. + AP Courses are too stressful. + I don t think I will score high enough on the AP Exam to get college credit. + Taking AP courses could hurt my GPA. + I can t take AP because no one has recommended me. Reality + AP courses are for any student who are academically prepared and motivated to take college-level courses. + It s no secret that AP courses are challenging. But the support you receive from your classmates and teachers can help you manage the work load. + You don t need to score a 5. Many colleges grant credit and placement as well based on a 3 or higher on an AP Exam. + Foster High School provides a 1.3 advanced multiplier towards a student s GPA. Taking AP courses shows colleges that you are willing to challenge yourself academically. + If you think you re ready to take an AP course, then you re ready to advocate for yourself- just talk to a teacher or counselor.

9 The Benefits of AP Courses + AP courses can be challenging, but it s work that pays off. + AP courses are often the most interesting and fulfilling courses a student takes in high school. + AP teachers are among the most prepared, dedicated, and inspiring teachers at their schools. + Students develop confidence, and learn the study habits and time management skills essential for success in college.

10 AP Exams + AP Exams are administered by schools worldwide on set dates each May. + Exams usually last around three hours. + Each AP Exam contains: - Multiple-choice questions - Free-response questions (essay, problem-solving, oral response)

11 Why Take AP Exams? + More than 3,200 colleges and universities offer credit or advanced placement for qualifying AP Exam scores. This includes more than 90 percent of four-year U.S. colleges and universities. -Credit: Students earn points toward their college degrees -Advanced Placement: Students can skip introductory courses, enter higher-level classes, and/or fulfill general education requirements.

12 AP Credit Expands Students Options College credit earned through AP Exams allows students to move into upper-level college courses sooner, pursue a double major, and gain time to study and travel abroad. As a freshman, I was able to skip general education requirements and head straight into the higher-level classes I wanted to take. Taking AP Exams literally saved me semesters of time. Brent Wiese, University of Iowa

13 AP Exam Fees The exam fee for 2018 will be $94 per exam. Assistance is available for eligible students with financial need: The College Board offers a $32 fee reduction per exam for eligible students with financial need. Scholarships are also available for eligible FHS students with financial need.

14 AP Credit Policy Information Information about AP credit and placement policies at many colleges and universities is available at You can search for a college by name and find the minimum AP scores they require for credit number of credits you ll earn, names of the equivalent college courses

15 AP Resources and Support + At exploreap.org, your child can make connections between AP, college majors and careers that can open a world of ideas and inspiration.

16 Statewide AP Credit Policy for Texas + A bill signed into law in 2015 by Gov. Greg Abbott requires Texas public colleges and universities to give credit for scores of three or higher. + The law could mean that high school students could get credit for thousands of hours not allowed before + Some classes, however, that are a prerequisite for later courses could still require higher scores if the school's top academic officer decides that's necessary

17 AP and College Admission + Colleges rank Grades in college prep courses and Strength of curriculum as the top two factors in the admission decision.* + 85% of selective colleges and universities report that a student s AP experience favorably impacts admission decisions.** We look favorably on students who have taken AP courses. The presence of AP courses is a sign that a student has chosen to challenge him/herself. Admission Officer * 2009 State of College Admission, NACAC ** Unpublished institutional research, Crux Research Inc. March 2007

18 AP and College Success A recent study* showed that students who earned a 3, 4, or 5 on the AP Exam had higher first-year college grade point averages and were more likely to return for the second year of college than non-ap students of similar ability. One of the best standard predictors of academic success at Harvard is performance on Advanced Placement Examinations. William Fitzsimmons, Dean of Admissions & Financial Aid, Harvard University *Krista Mattern, Emily Shaw, and Xinhui Xiong, The Relationship Between AP Exam Performan College Outcomes (2009), The College Board.

19 * IPEDS database, 2008 ** Linda Hargrove, Donn Godin, and Barbara Dodd, College Outcomes Comparisons by AP and Non-AP High School Experiences. The College Board, AP Helps Students Graduate on Time Students who take AP courses and exams are much more likely than their peers to complete a college degree on time. + Only one in four students who enter college complete a bachelor s degree in four years.* + A recent study** showed that students taking AP courses and exams were much more likely to earn a college degree in four years. For example, AP English Literature students had four-year college graduation rates that were 62% higher than students that had not taken AP English Literature.

20 Impact of AP on 5-Year College Graduation Rates Student Group AP Exam Score of 3, 4, 5 AP Exam Score of 1, 2 Took AP course, but not exam African-American 28% higher 22% higher 16% higher Hispanic 28% higher 12% higher 10% higher White 33% higher 22% higher 20% higher Low-Income 26% higher 17% higher 12% higher Not Low-Income 34% higher 23% higher 19% higher

21 and Save Money + LCISD May 2017 Data + Students took 1,749 Exams resulting in scores of 3, 4, or 5 - This yields an estimated 2,547 college credits for these students (assuming each score of 3 or above results in 3 college credits) - At an average rate of $300 per credit hour based on information posted on websites of various Texas public universities, the cost savings for Lamar CISD students & families: Approximately $1,500,000

22 AP Boosts Eligibility for Scholarships 31% of colleges and universities consider a student s AP experience when making decisions about which students will receive scholarships.* Having the AP Exam score can make the difference when it comes down to awarding precious scholarship dollars. Edwina Harris Hamby, former Dean of Admission, Fisk University * Unpublished institutional research, Crux Research Inc. March 2007

23 Get the Most out of your classes + Get More: With AP, you get to dig deeper into subjects you love. Your school can choose from more then 30 AP courses in subjects that directly reflect your interests. + Get hands-on: In AP s immersive courses, you get to learn how things really work. Tackle concepts that will stick with you long after the class is through. + Get involved: In AP classes, learning means sharing your ideas and expressing yourself. Add your unique perspective the dialog and debate contributes to the knowledge everyone shares. + Get support: With AP, you get to explore new ideas with your classmates and AP teachers. See and feel what college work is actually like, while receiving the support to help you get there. + Get to know yourself: In AP classes, you can set bigger goals for yourself and do thing you never thought possible. AP students can really test and push themselves in a familiar setting while gaining confidence, developing good study habits, and enjoying a great learning experience.

24 AP Start the Conversation +Help your child prepare to talk to a teacher or counselor about AP. Here are some questions to encourage your child to think about: + What AP course is right for me? +Before you talk to a teacher or counselor, think about what interests you: Which courses do you enjoy most in school? In which subjects do you excel? What college majors are you considering? What careers excite you? + Ask your counselor or teacher the following questions: In which AP courses at our school am I likely to do well? Are there other courses that can help me succeed in AP or prepare me for college and careers? + What steps do I need to take? What is our school s enrollment deadline? May I speak with a student who has taken an AP course? Are there study groups or people who can offer help if I need it? What can I do next to help me prepare for AP?

25 Talk with your teacher, talk with your counselor

26 Thank you to the FHS AP Ambassadors and our special guests this evening! +

27 What are you waiting for?
